How to define a function with multiple names

Say, I want to wtrie a function that converts from foot to meter, and another function that converts from feet/day to meter/day, Since the formula wil be same for both the functions, instead of having same formaula in two function definition, is it possible to add multiple function names while defining the function?

concept of function handle might be useful in such situations:

As I know, you can't do it.

You should create only 1 function and switch converting such as same following

function out_val = Convert(in_val, conv_type)
    if (strcmp(conv_type, 'feed/day'))
        % out_val = convert operation
    elseif(strcmp(conv_type, 'meter/day'))
        % out_val = convert operation
    else
        % out_val = convert operation
    end
end
